To keep on the San Gabriel Valley tip. Went for a little pre dinner ride this evening.
Look just above my TT. Yes, there is a full on Mid Evil battle going on. Monrovia is hilarious!

Arcadia hair place, could be a party in the back? GET IT?!?!?!!

Candy cane 210 bridge? Arcadia

Public trans. Probably empty! Don't you know this is LA, you're supposed to drive your car alone in the carpool lane people! Come on!

Side note, it was 60° at 8:30 tonight. #lasucksforweather haha!

I love this freakin' town! Just wish I could afford to live here!

When I first moved to LA I was out exploring on a Saturday morning and got passed by a group of what seemed like 2000 riders doing no less than 300mph uphill!!!!!!!!! That moment I decided I would never do a road race in California! Haha!

There is but one espresso shop in Albuquerque that gets it. I ride in a namesake kit. Bad picture though. And I should have awaited an action shot of the continuous stream of bike races.
